DESCRIPTION:
(Nov. First, by focusing on the problem of entanglement—the supposed telepathic connection between particles that a skeptical Einstein called spooky action-at-a-distance—Gilder includes more recent developments leading to quantum computing and quantum cryptography. Gilder's version differs from the familiar tale in two important ways. Science is rooted in conversations, Werner Heisenberg once wrote, and Gilder's created conversations reveal personalities as well as thought processes: Do you really believe the moon is not there if no one looks? asks Einstein. All rights reserved. . Second, Gilder exercises—not wholly successfully—a daring creative license, drawing excerpts from papers, journals and letters to construct dialogues among the scientists. 20 illus., 15 by the author. Gilder's history is rife with curious characters and dramatizes how difficult it was for even these brilliant scientists to grasp the pa
A Great Read!!! Very interesting, entertaining, thought provoking, and informative.I have 2 copiesone for home, and one to read in the checkout line, orwhen waiting for my wife at Michael's craft store, etc. Works great!I bought it because it was recommended at the Physics Forums (Quantum Mechanics),to help understand Entanglement at a distance.But it's been much more than that to give me a sense of the history and evolution ofQuantum theory, and the great minds that discovered the field.I will need to read i.

Gilder's book is an excellent introduction to the entire subject of quantum mechanics as James L. Marsis Gilder's book is an excellent introduction to the entire subject of quantum mechanics as well as to the specific phenomenon of entanglement. Written for the non-scientist, it provides excellent bios of the scientists who were instrumental in discovering some of the mysteries of particles physics, making their contributions to the subject easy to remember. Although a little short on scientific detail, if the reader is patient enough to read to the end, they'll find that they have gained a lot o
Here are Bohr and Einstein clashing, and Heisenberg and Pauli deciding which mysteries to pursue. Robert Oppenheimer’s Berkeley to the Princeton of Einstein and Bohm to Bell’s Stanford sabbatical—and we visit centers of European physics: Copenhagen, home to Bohr’s famous institute, and Munich, where Werner Heisenberg and Wolfgang Pauli picnic on cheese and heady discussions of electron orbits.Drawing on the papers, letters, and memoirs of the twentieth century’s greatest physicists, Louisa Gilder both humanizes and dramatizes the story by employing their own words in imagined face-to-face dialogues. And with his characteristic matter-of-fact eloquence, Richard Feynman challenges his contemporaries to make something of this entanglement.. We travel to the campuses of American universities—from J. A brilliantly original and richly illuminating exploration of entanglement, the seemingly telepathic communication between two separated particles—one of the fundamental concepts of quantum physics.In 1935, in what would become the most cited of all of his papers, Albert Einstein showed that quantum mechanics predicted such a correlation, which he dubbed “spooky action at a distance.” In that same year, Erwin Schrödinger christened this spooky correlation “entanglement.” Yet its existence wasn’t firmly established until 1964, in a groundbreaking paper by the Irish physicist John Bell.
